Note: I received a 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE AWC to test drive around town for one week in order to facilitate my honest review. No monetary compensation was received and all opinions are my own. If you’ve read any of my previous car reviews before, you’ll know that I am not a car expert….
Mazda CX-9 2013 Review
Note: I received a 2013 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD to test drive around town for one week in order to facilitate my honest review. No monetary compensation was received and all opinions are my own. As I’ve said with my previous car reviews, I am not a car expert. A lot of the…
2013 Kia Rio 5-Door Review
I was given a 2013 Kia Rio 5-door (SX) to test drive for one week. No monetary compensation was received and all thoughts are my own. I like to start off each of my car review posts with an additional disclaimer: I am not an expert on cars. I don’t fully understand what a…
2013 Mazda5 Grand Touring Review
When I drove the Mazda5 Grand Touring for the first time, I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and turned to my daughter and commented that the car felt really familiar.

Kia Rio Small-Size Sedan – A Mom’s Review
Like I’ve mentioned in my previous car reviews: I am not a automotive expert. I’m more concerned with comfort, functionality, and ease of use than I am with technical specs. That being said, I didn’t expect to love the 2012 Kia Rio SX before I drove it around town for a week. I’m a mom…
2012 Kia Soul – A Mom’s Review
For those of you who don’t read Better in Bulk regularly, I feel like I always need to start all car reviews with a disclosure: I am not a car person. I don’t understand most specs, and I am not concerned with features unless they make my life easier. When I look at a car,…
A Mom’s Review of the 2012 Honda Odyssey
Talk to me about transmissions and engines and you’ll lose me pretty quickly. When I am shopping for a new car I am looking for a few very specific things: space (does it hold my family of seven?) features (does it have a DVD player? GPS? Bells and whistles?) comfort (how do I feel driving…
